Vision for Antiviral Conjugates for respiratory disease: Single-dose treatment and long-acting protection Against all strains… In all people… 22

SB 10 Cloudbreak platform – multimodal mechanism of action Intrinsic antiviral activity & immune engagement Immune Pathogen Component TARGETING MOIETY (TM) Fc MOIETY • Inhibits essential surface target • Engages immune system • Direct viricidal activity • Extends PK 23

Coronavirus AVCs are being designed to target viral fusion Untreated Treated 24

Coronavirus - Novel Cloudbreak approaches to treat & prevent Inhibitor peptides Fc • Novel Fc - peptide fusion AVC inhibitors for SARS and COVID-19 • Goal: fast-acting treatment and long-acting prevention • 16 variants have been generated for first round of testing • Several designs under evaluation • Broad spectrum activity against SARS, MERS and a-coronaviruses • Specific for COVID-19 • Peptide inhibitors with a similar MOA in HIV is clinically validated1 • At Cidara, an analogous Fc - peptide fusion approach with HIV yielded potent (nM) in-vitro inhibitors of viral fusion 1. Lalezari JP, Eron JJ, Carlson M, Cohen C, DeJesus E, Arduino RC, et al. (March 2003). "A phase II clinical study of the long-term safety and antiviral activity of enfuvirtide-based antiretroviral therapy". Aids. 17 (5): 691–8. doi:10.1097/00002030-200303280-00007 25

Potential Advantages of AVCs1 in COVID-19 Utility for rapid treatment and long-term prevention of respiratory diseases • Rapid onset of action • Superior distribution to lung • Months of protection from single dose • Activity in immune compromised hosts 1. The above have been observed in testing of Cidara’s AVCs under development for other therapeutics uses. To date, Cidara has not conducted similar in vivo testing for its AVCs for COVID-19. 26

Influenza Development Program Two Indications- Treatment and Prevention Treatment • Potential advantages based on nonclinical data over current standard of care • Efficacy against all tested strains of Influenza A and B (including H1N1, H3N1, H5N1, H7N9, etc) • Efficacy against oseltamivir- and baloxavir-resistant strains • Improved efficacy with delayed dosing beyond 24 hours • Proposed Trials • Phase 1b: Healthy volunteer challenge study (early POC) • Phase 2: dose-ranging in uncomplicated influenza • Phase 3: CD377 vs active comparator – Focus will be on high risk outpatient or hospitalized, but could cover other influenza populations depending on regulatory interactions 34
